Good question - I speak sports although I find the hero-worship to be silly - and I did listen to him when I would drive at night years ago. He was good in small doses, like waiting to pick someone up at the airport, but beyond that I couldn't care less about college football or MMA.

Besides, can you ever really trust someone who gave their kids such white trash names as Gunnar and Mykylya? Who's next, Baylen, Kamdyn and MyKynzye?

The only reasons Howard stuck him on the channels is because:
A) he worked cheap
B) he was a Buchwald client

Sports talk was inappropriate for any Howard Stern branded channels. It had nothing to do with comedy, wack-packers, or shock-jock radio. I'm not suggesting that Scotty had a bad show, just that it was never a good fit. It was shoe-horned onto the channels.
